Description

Narrated in the first person, Great Expectations tells the story of Philip Pirrip (known as Pip) from his disadvantaged start as an orphan in the Kent marshes to the improvement in his position following an anonymous allowance. Pip moves to London where, only after many trials, does he learn humility and the value of loyalty. Key Dickens characters abound ? the convict Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham and the pompous Pumblechook. Anton Lesser's abridged recording of this text won awards, and his new unabridged recording also deserves similar praise for its remarkably vivid characterisations.

Our Non-profit of the Month Program

In the spirit of community, we're partnering each month with a local non-profit organization, to support and bring attention to the important work they do. We're giving our customers an opportunity to show their appreciation for these groups in several ways:

You can choose to donate all or part of your $10 credit from a full stamp card to the non-profit.

You can purchase our donation books, and the proceeds will go to the non-profit.

You can donate cash through a donation jar on our counter.
